New fit

[Johnson-Forest City @eatrighteous]

After a year of reading and discussion I'm happy to share:

In Time is an under appreciated classic from the heady days of 2011, and remains the only film brave enough to ask questions like:

- “can the insurrection end capitalism?”
- “what if time really WAS money?”
- “if Javert had a cop car could he catch Bringing-Sexy-Back Valjean?”

… mass action is inseparable from mass consciousness, and the council communists continually emphasised that widespread class consciousness was one of the essential conditions of working-class self-emancipation.”

-Mark Shipway, Council Communism

[Baltimore - LSC @BaltimoreLSC]

“This idea of revolution as a process is central to council communism, and it leads us directly to a consideration of council communist ideas concerning class consciousness and organisation, which Pannekoek described in 1909 as 'those two pillars of working class power'. … 1/5

… when every man knows, from his own judgement, what to do. They must, every man of them, act themselves, decide themselves, hence think out and know for themselves."
